Abstract:
This report documents activities in Phase III of the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) Project 04048, which focused on before-and-after evaluations of safety treatments installed between 1995 and 2000 at 50 locations on rural highways in Texas. Evaluations employed a review of the crash history at each site to determine the effectiveness of the treatment. On the whole, treatments reduced preventable crashes by 15 percent and preventable injury crashes by 31 percent.
